Breast phantoms are a fundamental asset both in routine quality assurance programs and
for comparing scanner performance in 2D and 3D x-ray breast imaging. They also play an …

Virtual clinical trials (VCT) have been developed by a number of groups to study breast
imaging applications, with the focus on digital breast tomosynthesis imaging. In this review …

Virtual clinical trials (VCTs) of medical imaging require realistic models of human anatomy.
For VCTs in breast imaging, a multi-scale Perlin noise method is proposed to simulate …

Simulated breast lesion models, including microcalcification clusters and masses, have
been used in several studies. Realistic lesion models are required for virtual clinical trials to …

Abstract Purpose Virtual clinical trials (VCTs) require computer simulations of representative
patients and images to evaluate and compare changes in performance of imaging …

Purpose Steadily increasing use of computational/virtual phantoms in medical physics has
motivated expanding development of new simulation methods and data representations for …

Star pattern test objects are used to evaluate the high-contrast performance of imaging
systems. These objects were used to investigate alternative scanning geometries for a …

We are develo** a dedicated, combined breast positron emission tomography (PET)-
tomosynthesis scanner. Both the PET and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) scanners are …

Purpose: Image-based analysis of breast tumor growth rate may optimize breast cancer
screening and diagnosis by suggesting optimal screening intervals and guide the clinical …

We have conducted virtual clinical trials (VCTs) of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to
evaluate the parameters that affect detectability of breast lesions. The OpenVCT framework …
